    Well games you have to have are:


    >Pes 6
    >Ghost Recon Advanced warfighter 2
    >Forza 2(wolf says it's good[​IMG]
    >Colin Mcrae:dirt is meant to be good
    >Gears of war.

    And you'll have to have Xbox Live aswell as thats pretty much the whole point of an Xbox IMO

    PES6 and GOW are two brilliant games, plus xbox live is brilliant on any game aswell. Get wireless controllers with headsets and add my gamertag so I can play ya, your a pro evo fan right?

    Get the play and charge kit and Pro Evolution 6 < better off getting it preowned there aint no point on spending 45 quid and getting a brand new one when the new will come out in 4/5 months time and that is all you need my friend [​IMG]

    Premium obviously but if you can't stretch that far then you can save up for a hard drive and wireless controllers are only about ?20-?30[​IMG]

    I'm also considering purchasing a 360 but I want the wireless adapter on it as I bloody hate cables trailing from my room down the stairs and round the skirting boards. Looking through a fair few sites, it's really going to bump up the price. ?85 for the wireless and Xbox Live really is making me think twice. Comes out close to over ?400 for the premium bundle, Forza 2, another wireless controller, wireless adapter and Xbox live. Way too much for, essentially, online play and one game.

    Forza 2 is excellent and as Beggsy said a play and charge kit is a must!

    Gimps maybe but good enough for you to talk to in this thread! I do agree about FIFA but Live is also needed.

    play and charge, is that for the wireless controls?

    i think ill get the core system for now, ill wait till i get paid again till i get wireless stuff.

    also, how much does xbox live cost for a year and does 360 not have wireless included then?

    Well, I know from my time in IT that long-ass network wires slow down connections between devices and mine would have to stretch about 35 metres (around doorframes etc) from my wireless router downstairs to where my 360 would be upstairs, hence my plumping for the wireless connection. I thought about moving it into the same room as the router but there just isn't space.

    You need the Premium Version...or maybe the Elite if you have some serious Money to spend cause its got a better look and hard-drive.

    Games that you need:
    Ghost Recon 1 and 2.
    Gears of War ***Must***(This game is sick)
    Fifa07, but used cause new 08 is coming out in 3 months.
    Forza 2.

    Dont bother going wireless cause it will cost alot, even if it has wires..you wont be moving them all day.
